During the interview, Ryan addressed several issues on which conservatives have been critical of the Republican Party, from perpetuating crony capitalism to immigration.

RINO please
That makes no sense. If the Republicans need to "make amends" for supporting crony capitalism in the past, then why vote for it?

Does anyone really care what Paul Ryan has to say anymore?
“When asked how his votes for TARP and the auto bailout comport with the populist, free market philosophy ... Ryan justified them on grounds of ‘defensive voting.’”
Yeah, he talks out of both sides of his mouth like the rest of the Big Government Republican cabal.
Paul Ryan is dead to me. FUPR.
“Does anyone really care what Paul Ryan has to say anymore?”

I sure as hell don’t care what he has to say. His mouth and his anus are interchangeable parts. He is in the pocket of the U.S. chamber of commerce amnesty pushers.
Shut up and go away, RINO.
